Notes

Each watch of the famous "Master" collection by Jaeger LeCoultre is tested for 1000 hours under extreme conditions: temperatures, shocks and vibrations, magnetic fields of 5000 amperes per meter.The Master Réveil is the first wristwatch whose alarm uses a tuning fork with perfect sound. A special steel resonator fixed onto the movement vibrates like a tuning fork when the tiny hammer strikes its support. This imaginative solution was the idea of watchmaking masters Daniel Wild and Eric Coudray.
